Definitions
- This invention relates to wire stripping tools used for removing or displacing a portion of the sheath or covering from a wire core, for example in preparing an insulated electrical conductor for connection.
- British Patent No. 1110935 discloses a range of wire stripping tools comprising a pair of outer jaws for gripping the sheath or covering, a pair of inner jaws located between the outer jaws for cutting into the sheath or covering, and a pair of handles which can be closed together so as to first close both pairs of jaws and then displace the inner jaws relative to the outer jaws, so as to move the cut portion of the sheath along the core.
- the cut into the sheath need not be completed in that the displacing movement can tear the sheath so as to achieve a like effect.
- a lever handle closes the jaws and the inner cutting jaws are displaced for the stripping by a rod or drawbar.
- the handle is connected to both the jaw and the drawbar by a whole system of links forming two sets of toggle linkages acting respectively between the handle and jaw, and between the handle and drawbar. This is complex to make and assemble and the geometry is critical.
- the problem with wire stripping tools of this kind is to produce a simple design capable of economical manufacture and which can cope with a range of different cables and the like, which may differ from one another in terms of overall thickness, core thickness, and sheath hardness.
- the object of the present invention is to provide an improved tool for these purposes.
- a wire stripping tool comprises a pair of outer jaws for gripping a cable, at least one of the outer jaws being pivotally mounted on a relatively stationary part, a pair of inner jaws for cutting the sheath of the cable, a lever handle for closing the jaws, a drawbar connected to the inner jaws, a spring resisting movement of the drawbar, and at least one link pivoted to the handle and to the drawbar for displacing the inner jaws relative to the outer jaws, and is characterised in that the pivot of said at least one outer jaw is between the ends of the jaw, and that an end of the jaw is pivoted to the end of the lever handle, handle closing movement causing jaw closing whilst drawbar movement is resisted by spring pressure and when jaw closing ceases due to resistance of the cable, the spring deflecting to allow drawbar displacement by the handle via the said link.
- the tool shown in the drawing comprises a pair of outer jaws 10 for gripping the sheath or covering of a cable, and a pair of lever handles 12.
- the handles are pivotally connected to the jaws by pins 14 which also serve to fulcrum first links 16, these links 16 being pivoted at their other ends upon pins 18 to a cursor 20.
- the outer jaws 10 are also pivoted on pins 22 which pass through a relatively stationary part in the form of a pair of mounting plates or common member which lie in parallel planes and extend from the vicinity of the pins 22'to surround pin 24.
- a pair of cutting jaws 26 is located between the gripping jaws 10, and these jaws are spring- urged apart by a small compression spring 28, the cutting jaws being pivoted together on pin 30 which also couples the inner jaws 26 to a drawbar 32.
- the cursor 20 is a slide fit on the drawbar, and a second pair of links 34 is pivotally connected to the drawbar pins 36, the outer ends of these links 34 being pivotally connected to the lever handles 12 by further pins 38.
- the drawbar is formed at the end opposite to pin 30 with a cutting edge 40, and this is arranged to slide past the second cutting edge 42 formed on a cutter plate held in position by pin 24.
- the drawbar is conveniently formed with a pair of elongated and co-axial slots 44, 46 and a respective limit pin 48, 50 extends through each of these and also through the said metal frame plates.
- the pin 50 serves as an end abutment for a helically wound compression spring 54, the opposite end of which uses the second links 34 as an end abutment, so that this spring tends to drive the drawbar and hence the cutting jaws 26 to the illustrated position relative to the length of the gripping jaws 10.
- the pin 48 in addition to guiding the drawbar for linear displacement (as later described) also serves to provide a limit stop for movement of the cursor 20 towards the jaws.
- the cable to be treated is placed between the jaws generally in the position indicated by the chain dot line 60 and then the levers 12 are closed towards one another.
- the initial movement of the lever handles 12 is to pivot them about the pins 38 so that the pins 14 separate, and take the pivotally coupled ends of the jaws 10 further apart, and because the jaws 10 are pivoted on the pins 22, this closes the gripping jaws upon the cable 60.
- the pins 18 move the cursor towards the jaws until the movement is terminated either by the resistance of the cable 60 preventing the jaws being closed further or by the cursor 20 contacting the limit pin 48.
- the cutting jaws 26 penetrate into the sheath.
- the end of the drawbar provided with the cutting edge 40 runs in a generally tubular housing 62 having a lateral slot 64, so that a wire can be cut to length before stripped by being inserted in the slot 64 and the lever handles moved together so that the cutting edges 40, 42 move in scissor fashion to snip the cable.
- one of the jaws 10 is made integrally with the associated lever handle 12 and the corresponding links 16 and 34 are omitted.
- This unitary part may be made fast with the sleeve 62, and the operation then is exactly the same as described, except that the total closing movement possible for the jaws is only half of what would be the case with the illustrated tool. Such a tool is therefore useful for a narrower range of cable sizes.
- the range of sheath to core ratios which can be treated satisfactorily can be increased by providing a screw adjuster effective to displace one of the cutting jaws 26- relative to its gripping jaw 10 so that the projection of the cutting edge 66 relative to the gripping face 68 can be varied.
